Page Layout ⇒ Each title on a separate page of its own with titlesec

[manuavazquez]

Hi,

I'm trying to get titlesec to put the title of each chapter, section and subsection in a different page. Right now, I'm close, but there are two problems:

- titles show up twice in the index
- the index also is affected by the settings and its title is in a different page

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I guess the index is the table of contents. You can avoid it being affected by defining the layout after calling the toc. I cannot reproduce that the entries are twice in there.

Thank you! That solves the index title issue. However, I still get duplicated entries for "Section title", one with a label and another one without it, something like this

1. Chapter Title
1.A. Section Title . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Section Title . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
1.A.1. Subsection Title . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Quite weird

I can reproduce the behaviour by clicking on Open in Online-editor with the above code block.
Make an update of package titlesec.

That did the trick!!

Thank you so much.
